Nicolas Rousseaux Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi all! Well, last week, while feeding my roaches, I noticed this guy... And I say "oh! It probably just molted" and didn't annoy him. This week, I saw him again and think the same... But I had no new adults. So I decided to wait a whole night, so that a normal male would have taken his coulrs. But when I came back this morning, I noticed that this was his colour: this guy is nearly white! Check it out! with a normal male: normal male: brown antennae and legs: my "white guy": yellow antennae and very clear legs: bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpython Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Very Neat! perhaps selective breeding is in order?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 it would be nice that's true, but I only have a few females, so I don't want to isolate them and risk to lose the group with no reproductions :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfox Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Might be an issue with humidity in your setup or something. I've seen this happen when I used to keep them, but they never lasted long afterwards. Or it could just be a fluke, I doubt it would ever transfer this light coloration through breeding.

Keith Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Wait a few days and feed it a variety of foods, it still takes a few days to get full color. Mabye mist the cage with water good humidity does improve color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 it's always a bit wet, and they have food... So we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
